Martin Scorsese

Living Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese is a film director, screenwriter and producer with a career spanning over half a century.

He spent 25 years developing the film Silence, released in 2016, based on Shusaku Endo's 1966 novel of the same name. Endo's masterpiece follows two Portuguese missionaries enduring religious persecution in 17th-century Japan, and is considered to be one of the greatest historical novels of all time.

We are honoured that Martin Scorsese has written the introduction to our special hardback film tie-in edition of Silence, a must-read for book and film lovers alike.
